Week Fifteen

We did not have many of our teams in action over the weekend  but RICHARD WILLIAMS is now in his second weekend at the top. Richard’s combination of  teams did not have any games this weekend remains on a total of 119 goals. His teams are Hibernian, Manchester City and Rangers. He is still three goals clear of  DANIEL GOODSON who remains in second place after his teams also had no games like most of us this week. Daniel’s teams are Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Rangers.

At the other end, it’s still JOHN NICHOLLS now in his fourteenth weekend at number 119 as his combination also had no games.  His teams are Arsenal, Bolton and  Newcastle.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 

Just one of us managed to pick up some more midweek goals this week and they all go to GARY BOLBERY who had Chesterfield. Gary is now on a total of 20 midweek goals and slightly behind the field now. His other teams are Chelsea and Derby.  So there was no change in the race for the cash this week.

CRAIG EVANS is in the lead this week with his teams of  Hearts, Manchester City and Middlesbrough. Craig has a  total of 41 goals. In second place we have DANIEL GOODSON with 37 goals.  In third place we have TONY KING on 35 goals, while in fourth place we have BARBARA BARNES (2), MARK HOWARD, NATHAN TREADWELL and RICHARD WILLIAMS all on a total of 34 goals. In Fifth place all on 33 goals we have ADRIAN BEW, JAMES HUNTER, TOM MACDONALD and DAVE WESTON.

This weekend it was AMANDA MORRISON that picked up the most number of goals from just one of her teams with five goals. Amanda picked them all up from Falkirk. Her other two teams are Arsenal and Manchester City. But sorry to say that due to the lack of Golden Goals teams in action over the weekend due to the Internationals,  Amanda has not picked up any cash. The good news is that this weekend we will have our fourth Rollover worth £10.

WEEKEND RESULTS                                

Okay so we only had twenty of our teams in action over the weekend but the good news to those who had any of their teams playing was that only four failed to score any goals. This means that twenty-eight of you did get some goals this weekend and a step nearer the top.

The highest score that we had came from the Scottish Championship where FALKIRK beat Alloa 5-0 at home. The result still leaves Falkirk in third place in the league and this is their third time of netting five goals in a game. They only have one vote this season.
